About

Kari Reynolds is a needle felted landscape artist creating quiet, textured scenes inspired by open skies, changing light, and the peacefulness found in nature. Using wool as her medium, she builds each piece slowly by hand — layering fibers, color, and texture to create soft atmospheric landscapes that feel both familiar and deeply personal.

Her work is rooted in emotion and memory as much as place. She is drawn to fleeting moments in nature: a glowing sunset over distant hills, the stillness before rain, the softness of wildflowers in a field, or the feeling of standing beneath a wide sky and simply breathing for a moment. Through needle felting, Kari seeks to capture not only what a landscape looks like, but what it feels like to be there.

The tactile nature of wool allows her to approach landscapes differently than traditional painting. Every piece carries movement, depth, and softness that shifts with light and viewing distance, creating a sense of warmth and calm. What begins as loose fibers gradually transforms into a richly layered scene through thousands of small, repetitive motions — a process that feels meditative and deeply connected to the natural world that inspires her.

Under the name Izzy Lou Art, Kari creates original framed needle felted artworks and fine art prints intended to bring a sense of peace, stillness, and connection into everyday spaces. Her hope is that each piece invites viewers to slow down, reflect, and reconnect with moments of beauty that might otherwise pass unnoticed.
